I just bought a poplin shirt with the intention of knitting sweater vests to compliment it.
Does anyone else shop for clothes based on their knits?🧶

#showmeyourknits is perfect for the Spring Equinox! Around here, it’s time to seed cold hardy crops outside like peas and spinach, prune my roses and daisies, and tuck away the snowboard gear.

As both hemispheres change seasons, show me your GREENs 🥬 ! 🧶🍀🌱

I’m trying. It’s been a journey with this one and really don’t know that it will
be done for our local fiber festival next month, but am giving it my best effort.

Week 85, Show me What’s on Your Needles; what are you excited about?✨

Hit hard with a feverish head cold and was just wishing for a more mindless knit to do SOMETHING in my haze. The Shooting Stars sweater v2 is coming along though.

My go-to increase if a pattern doesn’t specify a directional one!

😂

#showmeyourknits is #sweaters for getting cozy in March! My favorite thing to knit. This Fragmented Sweater (by WestKnits) was made for my husband. He picked the colorway from West Wool Tandem’s vast selection.

Oh hey! It’s been a while #knitsky. I’ve been away and took a break from socials while gone.

#showmeyourknits is all about #lace this week. It’s been a while since I’ve knit lacework so here’s a crappy photo of an infinity shawl I worked up back in 2013.

No grays for #showmeyourknits this week, but I am almost finished with a side quest I’m WIPping up this month to counter the gray outside!
Daybreak by #westknits because I can always use another something to tie around my neck. #wipwednesday 🧶

Thank you!

Early #WIPWednesday post this week to brag that I have successfully (re)knitted two rows of stars in my Shooting Stars sweater! 🧶 #showmeyourknits

😆

Decided I need more orange in my life. Knitting up #westknits Daybreak (yes, it’s a go-to pattern for me) with #PortFiber Dance Dance Dance as the main color. This colorway is called Juicy Fruit. 🧶

Week 78 of #showmryourknits is #garterstitch! This storm is a good day to work up a project in it and binge watch something.
Here’s another of #westknits Purlbreak shawl I made.

#wipupdate 🧶 #showmeyourknits
Shooting Stars v2 is working up nicely.
I have opted to use spindles of the yellow for each section of the yoke pattern. A method common in weaving and lacework. It’s working out better than I hoped!

Someone ask me about the spindles

Week 86 of #showmeyourknits is helping hands! Here’s a pair of owl mittens made from Elaine Fitzpatrick’s Who Gives a Hoot pattern 🧶

Operation Fresh Start is underway! All progress on the Shooting Stars sweater has been unraveled, new plan visualized, studio saged for clarity. I’m ready to begin again. 🧶 #showmeyourknits

I could barely fit it over my chest when I tried it on so need to rework it. 😞

I highly recommend using your #swift if you have one and need to frog colorwork. It keeping the tangling threads at bay so well! 🧶 #showmeyourknits

As I was winding back I remembered that my measurements didn’t quite fit the sizing chart. Also, the yellow yarn isn’t as springy as the rest. I decided to forge ahead anyway.
SO going for a fresh start, tweak the pattern and do the colorwork differently.
Trust your gut. Today’s a new day. 2/2

Tried to post an update to yesterday’s debacle and somehow deleted it. Fitting for this series of errors in this project 😂

RECAP: Tried it on and it’s too tight with no way to fix without frogging. Chose to go back to arm split… 1/2

Ohmygosh! You all are so wonderful. Thank you!

*gasp* I was just admiring a couple extra skeins of Cirro in my stash. ☹️

Week 76 of #showmeyourknits is what’s on your needles?🧶

I started a test of this geometric puff from the book Knit Fold Pleat Repeat to think about possibilities.

Also plugging away at the Shooting Stars sweater.

This is a depressing trend in new school design and budget cuts. Libraries are becoming shared spaces, usually media centers (if they exist at all) and librarians are tasked with multiple schools instead of full time in one.

Well folks, I reached a point that I cannot ignore there is no way I have enough yarn to complete this project and have a design tweak I want to add. 😕 I bought another skein of the deep blue from #lambstringsyarn. 🤞🏻it arrives quickly 🧶 #showmeyourknits #WIP

😆 I so relate to this whole situation
